I want to set up an off grid power system for my house?
I am wondering what is the best way to go about this. I am pondering solar, and wind power. My house will be about 5200 sq ft when it is finished and will be very energy efficient. Does anybody know of a system that is cost effective for these types of applications? Any advice or insight would help. Thanks
use wind if you have the site for it, it will be very efficent and practical.... total economic payback time will be 2-4 years. anywhere between $1000-$20000
Solar will be a lot more costly with a total economic payback time of about 20-25 years, a total system will cost minimum $15000 and up to 50k depending how much you need.
Look into evacuated tubes for solar hot water systems.

Good evacuated tube company.
They look better and are much more efficent and work good in cold and cloudy weather.
These are best systems to heat your hot water which is largest energy consumer in the home. Also these do heating, I would have a look at getting hydronic heating under the slabs as this is most efficent way to evenly heat your house and you can set up solar evacuated tube heating systems very cheap.
Hope this helps.
1500watt wind turbine + batteries to help offset utility cost. what exactly do i need for this to work?
I have a 1500watt max wind turbine i bought from ebay. i know that 1500watts is going to be very rare but i want the entire system to be able to handle 1500watts for the "just in case" situations. here what i would like. Wind turbine -> battery pack -> power inverter -> lights/computer/etc. i am new to this and i believe that there is more that i will need. do i need a charge controller and if so where can i find one that handles 1500watts 15.5v 115amps max. if someone could tell me exactly what parts i will need for a simple system i would greatly appreciate it =]
don,t know all you will need but i know you will need lots of batteries, a converter, and a transfer switch. and heavy wire
